SNAP IN – terminal blocks with innovative technology

SNAP IN - Simply explained

This video tells you about the quick handling of the innovative SNAP IN technology. We'll show you how acoustic, haptic and optical feedback means that you can fully depend on the connection between the conductor and snap-in terminal being secure. Our experts will explain what you need to know about our smart SNAP IN technology and how we're revolutionising panel building.

SNAP IN - Functionality

Quick, simple and safe – just SNAP it IN!

Faster connections than ever before

The innovative SNAP IN connection technology enables safe wiring in record time. With SNAP IN, even flexible conductors without wire end ferrules can be connected intuitively and without tools, even in fully automated wiring processes. As a pioneer in the field of panel building, we've been shaping the market for years. With the new SNAP IN connection technology, we can take your wiring processes to a whole new level. However, our other connection technologies are just as convincing. Take a look for yourself and find the perfect technology for your plans.

Automated terminal rail assembly

With automated production processes, errors can be avoided, workflows accelerated and costs reduced. This works best with solutions based on each other and thought out down to the last detail. The contours of the new SNAP IN S-Series terminal blocks have been designed to be easily gripped and mounted by industrial robots. This means that there are already no obstacles to automated assembly.

Automated marking

Marking terminal blocks is usually a time-consuming process with a high risk of error. For this reason, the design of the SNAP IN terminal blocs in the S-Series has been optimised for fully automatic laser marking, bringing a time saving of up to 90%. In combination with the Weidmüller Configurator (WMC), the Klippon® Automated RailLaser achieves the highest possible marking quality and lowest possible error rate.

Automated wiring

Full order books and a growing lack of skilled workers are driving digitalisation and automation in control cabinet production. That is why Klippon® Connect SNAP IN terminal blocks are already prepared for tomorrow's automation processes. The simple and safe handling of SNAP IN technology facilitates the use of automated wiring processes and prevents incorrect wiring. Thanks to the launch of the "Smart Cabinet Building" initiative, Weidmüller, Komax, Zuken and Armbruster Engineering are able to provide manual, assisted and fully automated solutions as well as extensive services for panel building.

Thanks to digitalisation and automation, panel building is developing rapidly. By purchasing a Weidmüller RailAssembler, we have already taken the first step towards automated panel building. Terminal blocks with innovative SNAP IN technology are already paving the way towards automated wiring in the near future.
